I can’t believe what I’ve just watched. Eddie Izzard is on Joe Rogan saying ALL bathrooms should be gender neutral and completely dismissed the concerns women have that Joe brought up. He dismissed it as “people always complain when there’s change”

The whole thing is so selfish and entitled.

Oh now thats a real shame...

What difference does it make Jessica Wakefield? I don't see how they're less safe than cubicles in a room.

There are usually 2 doors between toilet rooms with cubicles as I think stipulated by planning laws. But unisex single room enclosed disabled toilets open directly onto the public area. Why is this dangerous?

Rufus, oh, he did a virtue signally post on Twitter some time ago 'in support of trans kids' against all those nasty people that want them not to be sterilized and shit. Ruffalo liked it iirc. Cheadle doubled down hard when he was challenged by those nasty Twitter feminist types and it all got a bit ugly.

Does EE identify as trans or just someone who dresses up? Is he officially transitioning or just likes jumping between the two?

As for the Romans having open plan toilets does anyone have evidence to refute that? Single sex is not just a modern Western thing, and many societies are far more sex segregated than us. I read about women in India sneaking out to the fields in the dead of night to toilet to avoid men.

I was also treated to the naked backside of a man as he hadn’t bothered to close the toilet door while he was doing his business

Oh my god this literally happened to me two weeks ago at a Chinese restaurant 🤮 so even shared toilets that are completely enclosed don’t work!!!!!

What what?

I like don cheadle...whats he done

Hithere12 · 05/05/2019 18:38

Maybe I misunderstood what he said - but I think he meant that all toilets should be enclosed cubicles, single room, floor to ceiling door/walls, toilet, mirror, sink, like most disabled toilets

No he didn’t, he just said “get rid of urinals”, not redesign nearly every pubic toilet in the country. And he went on about how mixed toilets are great because apparently they’d stop bullying in schools, so that’s not what he meant.

What an odious shit he's turned out to be.

I mean, I'm still going to be saying 'cake or death?' a hundred times a day, but it will be tinged with the same sense of sadness I get when I watch the Avengers movies and remember that Don Cheadle and Mark Ruffalo are total, unthinking wokebros.

He used to be fab but sadly he's just a twat now. Talk about a life lived backwards.

AndromedaPerseus · 05/05/2019 18:28

The V&A have gender neutral toilets and they are now in a generally disgusting state with pee on the floor and they stink. I was also treated to the naked backside of a man as he hadn’t bothered to close the toilet door while he was doing his business. Tristan Hunt this is not progress!

Triglesoffy · 05/05/2019 18:25

Because all women strip off to the nip when they go to the loo.

AnyFucker · 05/05/2019 18:24

He is an embarassing dinosaur these days

His efforts to be oh-so-woke are pitiful. The younger generation don't know who the fuck he is and this is his answer

Fuck off Eddie your time is over. You used to be ok. Now you are not.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 05/05/2019 18:23

. I also think this is much safer all round than flimsy stalls in an isolated room.

They’re not safer in men use them too, and certainly if men use them as well they’re not cleaner. Women like to gather in bathrooms with other women, I don’t see why we should change that to suit a tiny portion of the population.

Triglesoffy · 05/05/2019 18:23

A friend was in the loo at Selfridges and was surprised to see Eddie getting dressed by the sinks. She says his boobs are certainly surgically enhanced.

There's no age limit. A lot of younger women think they need men and most wont realise it till they are middle aged.

Maybe I misunderstood what he said - but I think he meant that all toilets should be enclosed cubicles, single room, floor to ceiling door/walls, toilet, mirror, sink, like most disabled toilets.

I can't object to these being unisex, just like disabled or train/plane toilets. I also think this is much safer all round than flimsy stalls in an isolated room.

If that's what he means, what's the basis for objecting?

(Granted the train toilet is a paddling pool of piss)

MadamBatty · 05/05/2019 18:14

49andfruity where do I sign up? I’m 51, am I too old? I like having people over, I’m a good cook, lots of wine or whatever you enjoy for a few hours. Then I like people to fuck off so I can sit & read in peace.

49andFruity · 05/05/2019 18:01

I'd love for there to be a new planet discovered or for a massive piece of uninhabited land to be taken over by women who would then invite other women to join them. I'd be off like a shot. It would be full of mostly 40- something women who are WOKE, as in they thought they needed a man but suddenly realised in their 40's that they are better off surrounded by supportive women.

nicenewdusters · 05/05/2019 17:52

Massively disappointed with Joe Rogan too. Have watched quite a lot of his interviews, and he's usually pretty good about calling out the bullshit and lack of any rigorous thought.

If I'm honest, I'm coming to the conclusion that any man who's so insistent that women should be forced to use mixed sex toilet facilities is just a creep, pervert or deeply dislikes and disrespects women. Or possibly all three.

Mumteedum · 05/05/2019 17:47

Recently had the pleasure of mixed sex toilets at a conference where women were less than. 10% of the attendees and I was having very heavy period. One trendy sink to share.. Me washing blood off my hands. Great! Thanks. Definitely felt progressive. Really want that to be the professional image I give out to other colleagues when networking.

Good job I'm older and don't give a shit but angry for young girls and women. It's so insensitive.

TheQueef · 05/05/2019 17:45

Me too Fruity I wish I could be a lesbian but I've accepted I am just a cat lady in waiting and started planning my cat herd.

Michelleoftheresistance · 05/05/2019 17:43

He can't even explain his own answers, he's like a spoilt child.

Classic midlife crisis.

Which only people with penises ever indulge in, because this kind of self indulgent wankery isn't tolerated by women or in women, and the massive majority of women don't have the time to spare from disproportionate domestic and caring responsibilities. And people born without penises tend to have an awareness and sense of responsibility for the impact of their behaviour on others, and so limit their own 'self expression' and dumping all over others. Women just fight like hell with their GP for years, usually unsuccessfully, trying to get HRT to deal with the major physical ailments caused by their own mid life.

Most mid life crises dump all over partners and children. Sadly Izzard has the whole media by which he can dump over women and children.

The comments on that are very pro-Eddie sadly. Mostly men though.
